The Carbon Valley Regional Library will also be on hand with information about their after-school programming.

FREDERICK — When last seen near a football field, ex-Frederick star Dalton Hall was leading the Warriors to the state 3A semifinals and earning all-conference recognition.

That was almost three years ago.

Since then, he’s signed a letter of intent, seen that plan go up in smoke because of a change in coaches, a change of schools (Hall is at Western State College of Colorado) and a resultant loss of a year of eligibility and neck surgery that kept him out of spring practice.
